Local residents are asking for faster action regarding Bull Run Fossil Plant's ash after studies showed issues with sediments and groundwater.
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, which is in charge of environmental regulation in Tennessee, recently presented its findings to the Anderson County Commission's Intergovernmental Affairs Committee in a meeting at the Anderson County Courthouse in Clinton. Pat Flood, TDEC senior advisor, presented in person while Robert Wilkerson, coal combustion residuals manager with TDEC, spoke virtually.
The results showed excessive levels of various chemicals in groundwater and surface streams near Bull Run Fossil Plant, according to the findings.
